Introducing: Ghostpoet
24/03/2010 by admin.
We’ve listened to this guy’s demos for a couple of years via the now-arguably ‘Ghost-town’ of MySpace and have always been into his work. Rarely within the realms of the phenomenon known as hip-hop in the UK do we find a lyricist who emits a sense of universal truth yet maintain musical accessibility. Justifiably, he has been compared to Mike Skinner.
From his smooth conversational rhythmic flow to his talented sparse melodic productions, Ghostpoet (born Obaro Ejimiwe) has caught the ears of London-based musicians and DJ’s including The Golden Silvers, Micachu, new soul singer Rox, enigmatic producer Kwes and the legendary Radio 1 Gilles Peterson to name a few. Ultimately, this has lead to collaborations between Ghost and the aformentioned. Ghostpoet has made appearances, live at The Golden Silvers clubnight and on Micachu & Kwes’ mixtape release.
Ghostpoet has kindly curated a mix for SomeThinkBlue which is available to download off his very own blogspot (click on the image below).
There’s no tracklisting but hey - that would be telling. The London-bred Coventry-based vocalist is expected to release his debut single on Gilles Peterson’s very label Brownswood (home to Jose James!) this Spring.

Introducing: Fatima
21/02/2010 by admin.
Frequent guest vocalist on some of the 2009 and 2008’s groundbreaking beat-based music Fatima is now ready to forefront a solo release via Iglo Records on the 23rd March.
In the space of two years, the London based Stockholm singer has showcased her eclectic range through her performances on well-recieved singles by Floating Points (Peroration Five), Sa-Ra’s Shafiq Husayn (’Lil’ Girl’) and Mr. Beatnick (’Green Is The Colour Of Hope’) and collaborated live with I.G, Floating Points’ Orchestral Ensemble and Slum Village.
Her debut four track EP release is named ‘Mindtravelin’ and it features productions from Stones Throw-signed and funkster aficionado Dam-Funk, plus VeeBeeO and Funkineven.
Regularly played on BBC 1Xtra’s Benji B show, Radio 1 DJ Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide show and on Rinse via Alexander Nut. From Dubstep to Soul, Jazz to Orchestral, Fatima is set for great things.
